Some of you might of seen this in the LI, but I am posting it here as you lot will probably have more advice and not call my friend a whore.

She's just turned 19 and thinks she may be pregnant. But the fact is she has bi-poloar aswell. She was put on anti-depressents the other day so what would that do to the baby if she is that way?

She doesn't believe in abortion so she would kep it but always needs someone with her when she has one of her turns, she takes her meds but she said it just feels weird at the moment. If she is then she is about two weeks in and nothing less.

She aint been getting her period for about a month either which is stange. And also the thing that is hurting her the most if the fact that the guy that she slept with (her boyfriend yet he wants me.) Said if she ever got pregnant he would dump her...

What do I do? I'm really confused I want to be there for her, but she can't get the savvy to tell him if she is or not. Now that I am added to it, she sees him all the time and she used to whore herself for money...I know that is bad but she don't anymore so please...just help me.

You should get her to a doctor and find out of she's really pregnant. If yes, maybe she could ask the doctor about her illness and the pills she's on and if that will effect the baby. As for the boyfriend, if he won't stay with her if she's pregnant, he's not worth anything. I know it's easier said than done, but she should get rid of him if he won't support her.

First off, she must find out if she's pregnant or not. If she isn't, then that should take a majority of stress off (after all, some women don't get their periods for a while if irregular). If she is, then it's time to consult medical help, as what Thaddeus mentioned.

For the boyfriend, I'd try to help her understand how "unworthy," in a sense, he is. I know it may be difficult to convince her of that, if not at all, but as a friend it's the least you can do to protect her of people like that.

I really hope your friend makes it alright. <3

hm pretty common sense, find out if shes actually pregnant, and to be honest she doesnt sound like good mother materials with her turns so maybe look to adoption agencies? and if her bf isnt gonna be supportive then dump him and move on.

She needs to know if she is pregnant or not ASAP. Some of the drugs used for bipolar can seriously increase the risk of birth defects (the one I am taking has a fat warning about taking it during pregnancy). Also if she is bipolar she shouldn't be taking only antidepressants without a mood stabilizer, or it can make her worse.

If she has only started taking drugs, she should be able to get off them easily, because they take 4-6 weeks to have an effect. Or she might be able to get one that has a lower risk of complications. Therapy is a good option too.

If the guy wants to dump her over getting pregnant, he is just a jackass, and not worth her time.

Try talking to her, and tell her that you are around if she needs someone. But she needs to go to the doctor and find out for sure if she is pregnant or not. Stress can make a period late, so she could be worried over nothing.

Turns out she wasn't, and was only playing with my mind. Which really annoyed me.
